Read the MSDS, Jon. It's about 30% petroleum oil. It is light weight
oil, so it may not be a superior long term lubricant, but it sure is a
useful short term lubricant. It also protectes againt rust pretty
effectively.


There are several things it should not
be used on, like bearings, or anything
that maintains a greased lubrication.

Sewing machine oil and electric motor
oil are far better lubricants for moving
parts.

Like all multi-purpose, multi-function
products, it may not do anything better
than single-purpose products.
